Chapter 607: Chapter 607
Liao Fan, diligently working within the Crimson institution, wiped the sweat from his forehead and revealed an honest smile.
"Xiao Fan, today the resources are going to be allocated, you’ll be able to breakthrough to the S level, right?"
Chen Weicheng, who was passing by the research department, walked in and greeted Liao Fan.
Putting down his work, Liao Fan appeared somewhat hesitantly uneasy, wiping sweat on his clothes, he nervously said, "Yes... yes, Mr. Chen."
Chen Weicheng gave a gentle smile, waved his hands indifferently, and said, "Don’t be so nervous. Since that’s the case, today I’ll ask the resources department to give you more resources. After all, we need to have you breakthrough to the S level quickly, otherwise, there won’t be so many resources later on."
Confusion flashed in Liao Fan’s eyes; after a long pause, he asked, "Mr. Chen, why is that? If I can’t breakthrough to the S level, does that mean I won’t be able to follow you anymore?"
Shaking his head, Chen Weicheng chuckled softly, "It’s just that Crimson is about to launch a plan. Try your best to breakthrough to the S level—it’s for your own good after all, especially since you’re only twenty years old."
When mentioning that Liao Fan was only twenty years old, a hint of jealousy flashed through Chen Weicheng’s eyes, quickly vanishing.
Liao Fan rubbed his head in his simple way, "I was worried I wouldn’t be able to follow you anymore, you scared me."
Chen Weicheng lamented in his heart and then left behind the words, "You can get off work early today."
After that, he left the research department.
As the metal door closed behind Chen Weicheng, Liao Fan was left alone in the research department, still maintaining his honest demeanor, responsible for researching a piece of flesh within the confines of Kiehl’s.
After work, back in his employee residence, Liao Fan had already received a pile of materials needed to advance to S level from the resources department.
Placing them on the table, his eyes showed immense gratitude.
Just as Liao Fan was about to take one of the materials, his body suddenly curled up and he ran to the bathroom clutching his stomach.
His speed was so fast, almost on par with an S level Spiritual Ability User.
"Your acting is still pretty impressive."
As the bathroom door closed, a man’s voice sounded within.
"If it weren’t for this act, it would really be tough to infiltrate the research department. As you’ve seen, even a straightforward person like me has surveillance equipment of all sizes in his room, except the bathroom."
With a mocking laugh, Liao Fan looked up at Shadow, "You’re here all of a sudden, has the plan encountered problems?"
"Actually, there’s a listening device in the bathroom too, but I had Ling disable it."
Shadow shook his head, "There’s no problem with the plan; it’s just that Lord Xun wants to know what Crimson has been preparing recently."
At this, Liao Fan touched his chin thoughtfully, "With my status, Chen Weicheng rarely discusses such matters with me, but I’ve roughly figured it out from what other researchers say."
Without waiting for Shadow to ask, Liao Fan continued, "Recently, Order has suddenly revealed itself, but these researchers show no panic or longing. It seems they’ve long been aware of the existence of the Bloody Moon."
There was a pause, Shadow narrowed his eyes, "They show no panic or longing, and neither do you?"
"Of course, such emotions are not fitting for me."
Shrugging and smiling, Liao Fan pursed his lips, "After all, for the identity of Liao Yifan, scientific research is everything, a person who goes home to eat and sleep, how would he think of any relation between Order and Crimson?"
Reflecting a moment and realizing Liao Fan’s identity had not been exposed, Shadow silently nodded, "Continue."
"In the casual conversations of these researchers, Crimson’s higher-ups have only one directive regarding the emergence of Order."
There was a pause, and confusion appeared in Liao Fan’s eyes, "That is to wait."
Hearing the information reported by Shadow, Lu Zixun also showed a puzzled look.
What does that mean, what is Crimson waiting for? Are they waiting for Order to take all the Spiritual Ability Users in Crimson Land as Believers?
"Is there no other information?"
Unable to understand this, Lu Zixun’s gaze returned to Shadow.
"Liao Fan is still gradually investigating, but we need to find a way to silently take out Chen Weicheng."
A deep look flashed in Shadow’s eyes as he explained the reason, "Liao Fan’s current identity is a clean researcher, and he has mastered forty percent of the scientific research progress. If Chen Weicheng dies, then... there’s a great chance that Liao Fan could become the head."
Pondering the suggestion, Lu Zixun asked, "Who is Chen Weicheng?"
Tapping on the documents with his claws, Lu Zixun, who had learned from the materials who Chen Weicheng was, narrowed his eyes, "This Chen Weicheng, has he conducted human experiments before?"
"Yes, the Human Ghost incident was masterminded by him."
Nodding, Shadow felt a bit uneasy when he mentioned this.
"You seem to have a good relationship with Liao Fan."
After saying this, Lu Zixun yawned, "Then send someone to do it, make sure to secure the head position for Liao Fan, and at the same time... umm, don’t arouse Crimson’s suspicion."
As cold sweat appeared on Shadow’s forehead, he lowered his head and then disappeared from the room.
"Wait, what is Crimson waiting for."
Silently taking out a cup of milk tea from the talisman storage, Lu Zixun looked through the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes full of contemplation.
"Bloody hell, He Changyu, how can you be so bad at this aaah!"
Ge Changming, who was lying in bed at night, suddenly sat up and started ranting over the mic.
"Recently, I haven’t felt like playing games, sigh, o︶︿︶o."
He Changyu said nothing and simply quit the game, sending messages to Lu Zixun.
After all, He Changyu was once his meal ticket for climbing ranks; Lu Zixun thought it necessary to maintain a proper relationship.
"I’ve been practicing Spiritual Energy, you know. I want to buy something, but my dad just won’t buy it for me. Not only that, but he also won’t even let me see it, so I’m pretty frustrated."
Looking at the message, Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow.
When did He Changyu ever practice Spiritual Energy so diligently? If he were really that diligent, He Tianming would be thrilled.
Lu Zixun pondered for a moment and typed a line, "Haha, if I were your dad, I’d simply not even answer your calls."
"Lord Xun, you can’t take advantage of me like that, but my dad really isn’t picking up my calls."
He Tianming had disappeared.
Lu Zixun frowned, wondering what was going on now.
It seemed that meeting He Tianming in person was the only way to find out.
But how to meet without attracting too much attention?
After some thought, Lu Zixun said, "Come play with me tomorrow, I’ll help you climb the ranks. Whatever you’ve set your eyes on, I’ll buy it for you."
